Greeley crews will close a portion of 65th Avenue starting on Monday to prepare for road improvements.

The road will be closed from 29th Street to U.S. 34 from Monday through April 14, according to a news release. The closure is necessary to replace a bridge structure across the irrigation canal before water flow begins later this spring. Once the structure has been replaced, city street crews will widen 65th Avenue with additional lanes and will install turn lanes at U.S. 34.

Digital message boards and detour signs will notify motorists of the closure before the intersection. Motorists are asked to find an alternate route using 47th or 83rd avenues and to drive cautiously in construction zones.

Residents of adjacent subdivisions can still enter on 65th Avenue from the south during the closure. During construction of the road widening project, 65th Avenue should remain open in both directions.
